YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, SC038493) L'Arche Edinburgh cares for people with learning disabilities. We have 3 homes and we are fundraising for a 4th. Our homes are small and our lifestyle is that of extended family, where people with and without disabilities live together, sharing their lives and supporting each other. We are developing our services for people with learning disabilities who are ageing. When we have our new house, we will be able to offer more places to local people who would like a L'Arche lifestyle.
Bethany Village Leprosy Society
(UK, 291107) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Bethany Village Leprosy Society (BVLS) is a small, UK-based charity which raises funds to support positive social development and welfare programmes in a self-established and run south Indian leprosy colony called Bethany. BVLS helps Bethany to find alternatives to begging for the 1,000 or so people resident there, who, because of the stigma associated with leprosy, have difficulty in finding alternative employment. We provide funds to help run the communitys clinic, elementary school and a range of income generation schemes -- including the production of bags and table linen -- as well as direct funding for the healthy sons and daughters of people affected by leprosy to undertake vocational training or degree-level education. All this support helps Bethany move towards its goal of self-sufficiency. As a small charity, run entirely by volunteers, BVLS sends all donations 100% to Bethany, covering its minimal administrative costs from a small proportion of regular supporters membership fees.
